Guyana's quest
to emerge undefeated remained intact, as they beat Barbados by 33
runs last Saturday at Idelwild Park, Queens, in the 2008 Ed Ahmad
Twenty20 Tournament. Guyana led by stand-in captain Lennox Cush won
the toss and batted first, scoring 167 for the loss of two wickets
in their allotted 20 overs.

Zaheer
Saffie during his knock of 93.

A brilliant batting
performance by opener Zaheer Saffie who scored 93 runs off 61 balls
and including 11x4s and1x6, paved the way towards a sizable total.
Clay Williams, not out 39, and Lennox Cush 16, were the other contributors.

Saffie’s knock was just under two hours and it was disappointing
to see the young batsman not complete his century in Twenty20 competition.
The Guyana wickets fell at 55 and 166.

Bowling for Barbados
K. Clark took 1 for 9 and O. Bostic 1 for 24. A large crowd was on
hand and was possibly hoping to see the hard-hitting Sudesh Dhaniram
punish the Barbadian bowlers, however the captain's decision to send
Williams in ahead of Dhaniram, although a surprise, nevertheless saw
Guyana emerging victorious in the end.

Man-of-the-Match went to Zaheer Saffie, who received a financial award
from Hafeez Ali of Rockaway Car Service. Most wickets went to Cush,
with 4 for 30. He received a financial award from Hakim Mohammed of
Naresa Palace.

The Guyana team
would like to thank Kris Raghubeer, CPA, and Frank of Gold Palace
for their financial contributions to the match, as well as those Guyana
team executives who hosted yet another victorious game. Chairman Jack
Bharat expresses his appreciation to all the supporters, for their
commitment and dedication to the Guyana Team.

Mr. Bharat acknowledged
that the presence of so many fans at the game helps the moral of the
Guyanese players, and certainly encourages them to perform to the
best of their ability.

Guyana's next
game will be against Jamaica on Saturday, July 26th, 2008 @ 1pm at
Idelwild Park, Queens.
